Abstract: A configuration of oil hydraulic power unit is simplified. In the oil hydraulic power unit, a port B and a port C are communicated to each other. By this, the hydraulic oil supplied to the port B can also be supplied to the port C even in exclusion of the solenoid valve and the flow-rate control valve, and, as a result, the hydraulic oil supplied to the port C contacts a side surface of the piston, and therefore, a backward pressure can be applied to the side surface of the piston. Thus, according to the oil hydraulic power unit, the backward movement of the piston can be achieved even in the exclusion of the solenoid valve and the flow-rate control valve.
